Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Talk about skin of your teeth. Labour’s Ian Austin has held on to his Dudley North seat with a majority of just 22. He got 18,090 votes (up 4.6 percentage points on his share of the vote in 2015), beating the Conservative Les Jones, who got 18,068 votes (up 15.6 percentage points on the Tory 2015 result). The Ukip vote was down 18.4 percentage points. Ukip got 9,113 votes in 2015, but just 2,144 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The variance between them came down to how likely they thought the youth vote was to come out. This is why Momentum and probably also social media, have been game changers. They got young people out in force, by the looks of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26346 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If May decides to go, which surely she has to, then it's going to have to be a soft Brexiter that takes over. That rules out the likes of Johnson and Davis. Rudd is too vulnerable in her constituency to risk making leader so who does that leave us with?

I think, horrifyingly, Farage might try to waltz into the Tory party. Not a soft Brexiter obviously, but he seems keen to get involved again now.

ewerk 26346 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Aye but in the immediate future he obviously isn't in the frame given that he doesn't have a seat. And would the Tories really want him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26346 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 There's no doubt that the entire Labour party has to get behind Corbyn now. The people have spoken and the Labour party should be a much more potent force if it's all pulling in the right direction. As long as Corbyn isn't a stubborn cunt and holds it against the PLP.

The establishment centre continues to fail to understand what is going on, and, hopefully, will now wake the fuck up. Sorry, had to. Bingo!
